Paul and Sheryl Shard define the design criteria for their new boat, Distant Shores IV, by evaluating their 30 years of experience across 100,000 miles of ocean passages and coastal cruising.0:26 The couple targets a vessel between 42 and 48 feet that remains manageable for single-handed sailing while accommodating up to five people for longer crossings.3:30 Key requirements include a shallow draft for exploring the Bahamas and U.S. East Coast, a pilot house with an internal helm, and high-performance capabilities.9:10 The hosts prioritize aluminum construction for high-latitude durability and are currently using SketchUp to model potential designs, including the Berkmeyer Lift Keel 48 and the KM Yachts Best of R49.7:45 While they acknowledge the comfort of catamarans, they favor monohulls for their ability to access smaller harbors in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.6:48 The project aims to balance speed, comfort, and the ability to take the ground in tidal regions.9:15
